to do so by one or more of them. Judge
CASTOR promptly informed the Gazette
that be had never been importuned by
any of the Commissioners to approve

about the item of railroad fare, but upOn

Nash had signed his approval. The ed

Nor since the close of the war has
there been such intense indignation ex-
pressed IS that over the order of tie
President to surrender the battle-fags

lands reelection, should ne be a candi'

had already aroused much feeling among
the survivors of the war, but this last
gross insult is followed by storm of
indignation that will end all talk of 6

ministration in merited obloquy.

WOOL SCRAPS.

The wool market remains dull a 81

bought at that price. but most growers
feel that, with the good indications in
the East, they can afford to wait for a
rise in the market, and they are asking
from 81 to 35 cents q pound.-Barnes-

Nelson Birney, who lives near Station
10, sold his wool few days ago for 80
cents pound. 1t was long staple. extra
